A shameless thief thought he could easily rob an American tourist in Auckland, New Zealand. But he did not count on the fact that his chosen victim was a Jiu Jitsu black belt, who was willing to teach him a lesson.

After a 23-hour trip, this American citizen went out for a walk without imagining that he would run into a madman. After refusing to give money to a homeless man, the latter began to follow him while threatening to rob him of money to feed his son.

Seeing himself in danger, the fighter assured his attacker that he was a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and that, if he kept bothering him, he would not hold back. Without any of those present doing anything to intervene, the professional decided to take control of the situation with his own hands, and with an implacable hold he subdued him and kept him restrained until the police arrived.

“I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, I am a trained fighter, I have the situation under control”.

After several minutes, the police arrived to intervene, and after hearing everything that had happened from the tourist himself, they took the thief away and left him in custody.
